Trista Celebrates Valentine's Day






Trista had a fun week getting ready for Valentine's Day!  She and Paul put together valentines for her friends and she enjoyed eating heart-shaped cookies at play group this week.  Yesterday we celebrated by going to Chuck E. Cheese for her friend Jack's birthday. It seemed to be a big hit for all of the two-year-olds.  There was a lot of enthusiastic dancing and cupcake eating.

Trista has also made some major improvements at her gymnastics class!  The actual "skills" she's learning are certainly debatable (see the video of her doing "somersaults" with Sophia), but she is having a good time.  I am very happy that she has started to enjoy it!

It's been a while since I posted anything, but it's mostly because there haven't been too many big events, just lots of everyday busyness!  We had a pretty good January.  Earlier this month we got to see Brant and Erin and finally meet their twins, Morgan and Reese.  They are doing great, and Brant and Erin seem really happy to be parents!

Trista started taking a gymnastics class last week, and aside from looking cute in her leotard, things did not go well!  She was adamantly against participating in anything at all, and pretty much spent the entire class clinging on to me and freaking out in general.  I am hoping that maybe next week will go better.  Here is one picture I managed to take before things went completely downhill!

This Saturday Trista and I went to watch Paul run a 5K at the Charlie Post Race at Sullivan's Island.  As you can tell by Trista's attire, it was VERY cold out there!  It didn't seem to interfere with Paul's race though since he got first place in his age group.  Trista was very pleased with Paul's trophy since it was shaped like a lighthouse (apparently she's pretty into those at the moment).

I am also posting a few random photos from other events in January.  Here is one from a playgroup field trip to the fire station, which Trista thoroughly enjoyed!  As you can probably see, she had a good time trying on jewelry at Ma Ma's house last week, and she also had a fantastic evening with Jeanne where she got to make wishes throwing coins into her favorite fountain at the Town Center.  Last but not least is one photo from our Alpha Chi Omega reunion that was in Charleston a few weeks ago.  It was a lot of fun seeing some of our old friends.
